Another Thompson Tribute - Freak

Here's John Nichols on Thompson's Dem/GOP terrifying run for Sheriff in Aspen. A great illustration on Thompson's confronting and even thrashing with our political system. A brief quote:

He wanted to create a newer, better politics -- or, at the very least, to so screw up the current machinery that it would no longer work for the people who he referred to as "these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for America today."

Cheap, Greedy, Kills? Anybody seen someone like that around today? Does he have a nerdy, balding friend, with glasses who is as bad, if not worse than he looks like he'd be, another bald friend who looks like a Mr. Burns New Year's day float and claims to be VP, and daughters who give the "hook'em horns" sign? Yeah, I thought he did.
